audio/media related reports to bugzilla.redhat.com ignored?
by Niels Mayer 30 Mar '26

30 Mar '26

For audio/media related apps and issues reported on bugzilla.redhat.com , this is the pattern: bugs get filed, they're never acknowledged && totally ignored. Eventually people stop filing bug reports as it ends up being a waste of time and the quality of the distro goes down as result.... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=566665 [abrt] instability from snd-mtpav on PCI parallel port, causes crash in jack-audio-connection-kit-0.118.0-1.fc12 (edit) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=588965 [abrt] crash in gnome-media-apps-2.28.5-1.fc12: Process /usr/bin/gstreamer-properties was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV) (edit) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602900 [abrt] crash in alsa-tools-1.0.22-1.fc12: ____strtol_l_internal: Process /usr/bin/envy24control was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV) (edit) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602903 envy24control "Reset Peaks" button nonfunctional; metering shows no peaks Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: the above is not my experience with non-media related bugs, which are handled quickly and effectively, e.g.: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=575875 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445543#c20

Re: [Fedora-music-list] Good hardware specs for a "Fedora Music" box?

I would like to be able to record stuff from guitar, midi-keyboard, microphone, DJ setup (via line input I suppose), and then edit the results with the appropriate applications. Not all at once, but maybe 1-3 inputs at a time. The ability to play in real-time through the computer's output would be very important I think as I reckon it's much harder to work any other way. That's all I can think of right now. I currently have an SB Live with the LiveDrive thing, which has all the inputs I need, but I am thinking in terms of general system horsepower (RAM/CPU/disk etc). Finding a supported sound card it's really a problem, I'll just go with M-Audio for that. But I would like to know if I need to get one to do what I want. K. -- Kev Green, aka Kyrian.

To fully test you'll need a guitar and pickup plugged into your soundcard, but even a go/nogo on whether it starts would be helpful. Where I developed the package, it works OK, but another older AMD machine, it fails during startup. This will help me to decide whether to push it to the F8,F9 updates repos. DaveT.

whysynth doesn't work
by Florin Andrei 06 Jan '26

I got whysynth-dssi-20060122-7.src.rpm from here: http://people.redhat.com/green/FE/devel/ I rebuilt it on FC6 without problems. The thing is, the GUI doesn't show up. The program appears to be working, I see the outputs being automatically routed in qjackctl, but there's no GUI anywhere! ############################################### $ jack-dssi-host whysynth.so jack-dssi-host: Warning: DSSI path not set jack-dssi-host: Defaulting to "/usr/local/lib/dssi:/usr/lib/dssi:/home/florin/.dssi" jack-dssi-host: OSC URL is: osc.udp://rivendell.home.local:15040/dssi/whysynth/WhySynth/chan00 host: Ready WhySynth_gtk starting (pid 4305)... ############################################### -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Low Latency vs. Real Time Kernel
by Brian Monroe 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

I've been spending a lot of time on the #opensourcemusicians channel talking to Ubuntu Studio users about their kernel and latency times they're getting. Seems like most of them are using g a stock kernel with the preemptive option enabled and they are getting great latency results (2ms)while utilizing the @audio group on their user. I ended up compiling my own low latency kernel and I haven't had any issues with it yet. If this is what we are missing for the spin I'd be happy to maintain packaging for the kernel. I know ccrma has been behind a few kernel releases. I saw the instructions for adding the real time patch for a tick less kernel and from what I can tell it wouldn't be hard to get that rolling as well. I'm not entirely sure what ccrma does differently with their kernels compared to other Linux users, and I'm still a bit of a noob so I could be off base with this, but I would reason that we should be able to just utilize the same settings to archive similar performance enhancements. I thought I read that ccrma uses a unique scheduler, but if we could get a 2ms latency time without it, the point may be moot.

Some help please?
by Brendan Jones 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hey all, the number one reason for me floating the audio spin was to get more developers/packagers interested in Fedora. Waste of time it turned out.. Orcan has since toned down his contributions, but I'm sure he's amenable to sponsoring new packagers. I'm just worried if I get hit by a bus or something, which will leave us with no maintainership At the present time, I'm maintaining 100+ packages - crazy. There are a lot of ppl here who are capable, so if you have the time please step up B

wine bug dssi-vst
by Martin Tarenskeen 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

Hi, Using dssi-vst we can use many (not all) VST plugins on our Linux Fedora systems. Unfortunately several VST plugins that used to work fine stopped working since around Wine version 1.5.16 and up. I reported it upstream and it has been confirmed by others: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32637 The reason I mention it is because I hope someone here might be motivated to do a proper regression test so that the wine developers can fix the bug: http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting I think the same bug also affects using VST plugins with Festige instead of dssi-vst. I hope this bug will be fixed. There are some really good VST plugins that I use that don't work right now :-( Who takes the challenge? -- MT

Sorry if my email was a bit snarky. Was just getting really pissed off with 10 of my packages failing to build due to a stupid compiler flag added by Fedora (which I still don't agree to but I've made peace with it). I've been meaning to package the kxstudio stuff for a while now. I've only got as far as packaging fst/festige. Falktx is not really distro friendly, so licensing is sometimes hard to determine, but Cadence is a great app. There is also nama for the blind users out there which we don't really cater for which would be a great addition. Supercollider (in CCRMA) is also another tricky one, but I've left that to Fernando for the moment - would really prefer someone who actually uses it to maintain as it is pretty important for his uni. You can always check out the wishlist. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Audio_creation_spin_development#Wishlist The list is a bit outdated now. Synthclone stands out there (awesome program). There was an ecasound review that has died I think (someone from GSOC started but did a really bad job and they stopped when they weren't accepted) . We always want more lv2 plugins, so keep an eye on http://lv2plug.in/wiki/Plugins. Some there that are still not packaged (that reminds me I have a few which will need releasing soon but you can leave them to me ;) https://github.com/bsjones/psi-plugins) I think there is also a port of CAPS to LV2 somewhere, also be good. If you do submit a review remember to add the FedoraAudio tracking bug. That way a few of us will be alerted to it. I recommend adding yourself to the CC list also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805236 I will keep an eye on anything you submit. Do you mind if I submit this reply to the list? Maybe others who could use this info also
